The work OF the primary was well

ing, and preSagesa Democratic victory
not only here but in the State at large
in November. The Democrats in every
county in the Commonwealth looked to
Richmond yesterday for inspiration and
encouragement. They did not look in
vain. Richmond, as we had faith she
would, arose, shook herself, and again
babe defiance to MALONE. Considering
that there was no contest as between
candidates for nomination, the number
of votes polled speaks volumes. 1t

that yesterdays showing for Demo
crazy cannot fail to have
produced. Nothing should be
taken for granted. Yet if any there be
who have heretofore affiliated with the
Democratic party and are now waver-

effort should be made to prove to them
what is the simple truth-that the best

Miss Mary Kemping. a fair-haircd,
plump German girl, with bright eyes
aid pleasing manners, arrived yester-
day from Hamburg on the steamship
RlaetIa. Miss Mary's declaration said
that she bad no dutiable goods

ing her way between the heaps OF

or's eyes were attracted by the sight Of
a trim ankle accidentally displayed.
1t is not usually part of an inspect

use, but in this case he noticed that
while one OF the young woman's stock

the other was conspicuous by reason Of
sn angular rrotuberance that made it
seem best to the inspector TO call in the
services of Examiner Mrs. Anna NJ.

Mrs. Parks invited Miss Kemping
into the private examination room and
took from the stocking a tin box con
tanning a gold watch, two diamond col
lar-buttons, four gold collar buttons,
and three silver breastpins. In her
valise, rolled up in stockings, were
found diamond scarfpiD, diamond

SISTERS FOR TIE SOUTH.
Rand Of Nuns Who VIII Devote
themselves TO work Among
the Negroes.

"Tbey have taken a vow to devote
their lives to the missionary work
among the negroes Of the United Suites,
especially among those Of the South, in
conjunction with the Society Of Joseph
les. All order of priests formed for the
same purpose" said Father Slatteyy,
one of the Baltimore Josephites, speak
ing OF a band OF Sisters who disem-
harked from the belated steamship
Egypt Tuesday morning.
These nuns are known in the religious
community OF the Third Order of St.
Francis as the Rev. Mother Abbe5s
Mary Agnes, Superior OF the Mill-Hill
Convent, London, England, and Gene
raj of the Franciscan Sistcrhood OF
Missionaries to the Negroes; Sister
Mary Aquinas, Sister Mary Vincent.
Sister Mary dc Sales and Sister Mary
Paul With the exception OF the last
n0med they are English ladies. Sister
NJ. Paul was formerly Miss Mary
Murphy. Of Eightictb street and the
Boulevard, in tins city.
They were met at the pier by some
Franciscan Sisters and taken to st.
Francis Hospital, on Fifth street near
Avenue y, where they will remain
duripg their brief stay ia this city.
Then two OF them Will 30 TO Baltimore
and two others to Bichmond, Va.
The mission OF the Rev. Mother Ab-
hess is to inspect the houses OF the com
muuity in this country, and % devise
means OF charging the scope OF their
work among the negroes, as wei IS to
procure uCyices for admission ID the
si,torhood from among Catholic y0ung
ladies of the CEiicd Sits 4 has
been found flat American sisters are
better adapted to the special work Of
the order tban are English ladies'. Il
is the intention OF the Abbcs, 10 rcmain
III this country for several months.
The origin Of this community is
rather interesting, as related by Father
Slattcry to the Hcrai1 reporter. About
eighteen years ago there was in Back
ney, London, Il convent OF Anglican
nuns, known as the Sisters Of st. Mar
garet. The superior was Mother Mary
Frances Basil, and associated with her
were eight other sisters, all English IA
dies of good family, who had resolved
to dedicate themselves to missionary
work among the poor of their Church.
Suddenly religious and social circles in
England were astOnished at the an
nouncement that the Sisters of st.
Margaret had become in a body con
verts to the Roman Catholic faith and
bad reorQanized as a congregation of
the Third Order of St Francis. Mother
Basil died IN September of last year
and Mother Agnes became her sue
cessOr.
The present Mother House is at Mil
Hill. st. Elizabeth's Home for Color
ed Foundlings and Waits in Baltimore,
and the Franciscan Convent and Acad-
envy in Richmond, Va, are the two
houses of the community in this coun-
try. Other similar houses will be es-
tablished as soon as the increasing
number of Sisters will render it feast
bic.

IT READS LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
A6cOrgiR Farmers BeneyOience Re
varded by a Pile OF Money.

An Atlanta special says: A pretty
little romance has Just reached an Inte-
retting elimination in Rabun county.
At the base Of Tiger mountain, half
mile Of the main road leading TO Clay
10, resides a sober old farmer named
George w. billiard, who has a wife
and two sons. Early last summer Mr..
billiard received n letter from his wife's
brother, whom he had not seen since
lS49. At that time James McCurrie
was young man, as was also George W.
billiard. The news had reached Georgia
Of the wonderful gold discoveries in
California. Among those who were
full Of the excitement were McCurrie
and billiard. They had perfected all
arrangements for going thither, and
were bidding the family goodbye when
billiard faltered. The fearful eyes Of
McCurrie's young sister touched his
heart, especially as she was weeping
for him and not for her brother.
Throwing down his bundle, he declared
that he would stay if the girl would
marry him. To this she chaerfully
agreed; so billiard remained Il Georgia
farmer, while McCurrie jumped into
the stagc-coach and was borne away.
Since that time he has never been
heard Of
1t was with mingled feelings, there
fore, that billiard read the letter from
his old comrade. Mcourrie stated that
he had worked against adverse fortune,
declining to write to the folks ut home
until he could strike it rich but every
year found him growing poorer, and
now, old, feeble, and poor. his great
wish was to look once more upon his
native hills (; that he could not 90 50
unless he was sent money enough upon
which TO return. Mr. billiard read the
letter to his wife and sons.
eve must send him the money
said the old man. So n cow aud a mule
were sacrificed and the money went on
its mission across the con inent. SIEVE
raj weeks time brought another letter,
in which the old man expressed his
grateiulness for the kindness done him,
but he was too i'll to undertake the
Journey. After that no more WAS heard
from him.
On Monday billiard received letter
which recited that James McGurrie was
dead that ne wished to test the fidelity
of his sisterss family; that their
prompt response to his appeal had
moved him, and that by bis will his
property in California, vaiued at
81 100000. was willed in equal parts TO
his sister her husband and their two
sons.
The two young men passed through
Atlanta tonight ~ roHte for California
to take possession Of the properly,
which they hope to shortly convert into
cash, when they will return.
